Doesnât excuse Redheadâs holier than thou take on things though. They've now taken to posting things by The Gottman Institute. A quick google shows them to be a married pair of psychologists who focus on relationship health (mainly for couples, ironic as one of them has been twice divorced), but anything anyone says now gets a Gottman thing attached to it- âWell, the Gottman Institute says...â, âWell according to the Gottman Institute...â, âThatâs one way of looking at it, but the Gottman Institute says that...â And this morning weâve all had a dose of âEmotion Coachingâ (again, there seems to be another part to this, but thatâs how the picture was posted)  I just want to say âwill you shut the fuck upâ, but I know doing so will cause more things than it will solve, so Iâm just going to have to take it on the chin It seems like youâre really upset. Can you tell me more about it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Paid Members BomberPat 7,805 Posted August 20, 2020 Paid Members Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 For shit like that, and the one or two people still on my Facebook feed posting conspiracies and alt-right bollocks, I wish more than anything that Facebook had an "eye roll" options in reactions. Would be so much more devastating than taking the effort to actually reply. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Uncle Zeb 1,898 Posted August 20, 2020 Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 Before I deactivated Facebook (well, strictly speaking, my account - I couldn't find the button to shut down the whole site), one of my biggest bugbears was their decision to forego the much requested "dislike" button in favour of a select range of other reactions, all of which quickly became subject to misuse and misinterpretation. If you want to lazily express disagreement with something, you're given the unsatisfying choice between ANGRY or LAUGH, both of which can come across more aggressively than the simple verdict you'd rather convey, and provoke unnecessary conflict or ill feeling. Ironically the outcome they probably thought they'd avoid by going this route instead of what users were asking for. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He's already wrong about everything. This is from someone that lives a fantasy1940s housewife lifestyle, continually moaning about the lack of traditional values from this era (including her infamous rant about people who wear jeans to the theatre), and won't let her partner move in because it will effect her benefits.

Google will find an article about that number of new coronavirus cases. Coincidence?đ¤â My sister-in-law is a fucking idiot.

WyattSheepMask 3,636 Posted September 9, 2020 Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 Iâve no idea what sheâs suggesting, and Iâm pretty sure she doesnât really know either, but as @johnnyboy said, I told her âno itâs not a coincidence, thatâs how search engines work. They find everything with the number 999 and the words ânewâ and âcasesâ, thatâs why there are thousands of resultsâ I might as well have been talking to the wall for all the good it did.

Moderators Chest Rockwell 7,664 Posted September 14, 2020 Moderators Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 As completely useless as that post is, it is surprisingly accurate also. It doesn't have any bullshit about how copying and pasting it will protect you legally, and it is actually something that happens on Facebook. Maybe it's just because the bar is so incredibly low but that is actually not that bad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
